Advantages: The experience

Disadvantages: Terrorism and crashes

Flying is one of the biggest fears that many people suffer from. When I was a child, I was really scared of flying, well that was until I got to the airport and actually saw the planes, and then my fear went away. But for some people, it isnt that easy. Flying seems to be such a dangerous thing these days, or so it may seem, but if you do your research, more people die when driving their car on a car, something millions of people do everyday, they you do when you fly in the air.

Of course 9/11 didnt help anyone. If anything, it just showed how unsafe it can be to fly. And I agree with anyone who thinks that, as after more than 80 years of flight, surely someone must have thought about the possiblity of a group of people hijacking a plane without having a bomb or a gun. I didnt fly for two years after 9/11, and I didnt travel outside of Europe. I was just so glad that I wasnt living in America at the time, as I dont think that I would have ever left on another plane. But since then, my fear of flying has gone, and just up until a couple of days ago when I heard of that plane that crashed in new york by accident, it just showed me that a lot of things can bring a down plane, things that you would never think of. It really isnt as bad as I am making it out to be.

Summary: Dont worry
